Event highlights in the Nahe valley

Wine tastings at the German Gemstone Museum

The Wine tastings at the German Gemstone Museumin Idar-Oberstein are simply unique: Here, premium wines are served amid a sea of glittering gemstones, bringing together both of the great treasures of the region. Little titbits of regional specialities, like Hunsrücker Kartoffelkäs and brandy-filled chocolates, round off the experience.

Wine tasting in the Mine

Another unique opportunity is the Wine Tasting in the Mineat the historical copper mine in Fischbach. A mine guide and a vintner offer up plenty of interesting information - one about how copper was mined, and the other about the cornucopia of wines from the Naheland region.

Tours with the Culture and Wine Ambassadors of the Nahe region

The programme offered by the Culture and Wine Ambassadors of the Nahe regionis diverse and very enticing as well: "If you would like to know how the apricot finds its way into the Riesling, and a cherry into the Dornfelder, if you are interested to find out why there is a Prince Regent Luitpold Bridge across the Nahe River, and where exactly St. Hildegard lived - then you have come to the right place!" Well, if that isn‘t some pretty good self-advertising!

Wine and Walking Festival at Bad Sobernheim

The Wine and Walking Festival (Weinwanderwegsfest) in the Nahe wine region is traditionally held on the third Saturday of September. Along the festival route, you can sample the fine local wines. Growers will tell you about their wines and the Nahe region. A walk through the vineyards offers panoramic views across the Nahe valley.

Romantic Christmas Market at Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg

As darkness falls, a veritable sea of lights greets visitors to the Christmas market in the spa gardens of Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg. Ancient trees, lovingly decorated stalls and the pretty, half-timbered Kurhaus are resplendent in the glow of thousands of lights.
